And if we, as a species, did exterminate one or more other hominid species, then it seems a small leap of logic to conclude we did the same to each other whenever similar circumstances came up.
Remember, different hominid species were, y’know, different species, with different (apparently suboptimal) adaptations. So them getting exterminated is more likely in any case.
